LOOKING FOR AN ALTERNATIVE TO COLORBOND ROOFING?

WHAT IS UNICOTE?

UniCote®is a world leading pre-painted steel alternative to Colorbond for steel roofing, wall cladding, fascias, guttering, flashings, and fencing.

It all began because Australia’s fastest-growing independent steel distributor, Selection Steel saw the need for a superior, cheaper, durable steel cladding designed with Australian needs in mind.

UniCote® was developed by Selection Steel in partnership with one of the world’s largest pre-painted steel companies, Dongkuk Steel.

Dongkuk Steel has been a world leader in steel manufacture for the shipbuilding, automotive, and airline industries since 1954.

UniCote® uses hot-dipped aluminium/zinc alloy-coated steel manufactured to the Australian standards AS 1397. It is continually tested to ensure its exceptional performance in the harsh Australian environment.

The polyester topcoat is hard baked onto a primer and the latest infrared reflective pigments ensure that the paint will thrive under the harsh Australian sun.

UniCote® meets the Australian QUV resistance standard AS/NZS 2728 for durability of the coating system.

UniCote® has also been tested for performance at excessive temperatures and is rated as suitable for continuous service up to 100° C.

This level of paint durability means you can be confident that your beautiful roof or wall cladding will not fade or discolour.

UniCote® also meets AS2331.4.7 for scratch resistance. This is measured by dragging a needle with a 2 kg weight. Testing under these conditions shows that no damage to the UniCote® surface occurs.

AS/NZS 2728 also measures such durability factors as impact resistance and the bend test. UniCote® passes these tests with flying colours; no damage or cracking to the paint or loss of paint adhesion.

The UniCote® paint system also meets the AS/NZS 2728 standard for heat, humidity and salt spray resistance requirements. The UniCote® paint cover is warranted to show no flaking or peeling for 20 years with roof applications and 15 years for walls—that’s really reassuring.

The paint finish is available in standard or PVDF versions for additional corrosion protection in industrial environments where corrosive chemicals are present.

So, for a cheaper alternative to Colorbond roofing or cladding with no loss of quality turn to UniCote®.
